Ease of use

Your display should not take up much of your time as much as possible. Look for a display that is easy to use and can be easily loaded up with items in less than 15 minutes.

Visibility of your jewellery

When purchasing a display, it is important to consider how your jewellery will appear with your chosen rack display. Ensure that the display is attractive and emphasizes your product`s appearance.

Durability

Consider purchasing a wire display or acrylic displays.

The space in your jewellery store

Make sure your jewellery display won’t take more space than necessary. Choose the right item that will not look too big or out of place in your jewellery store. It’s important that it also coordinates well with the rest of your establishment and won’t look awkward against your other items.
